Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric
plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the
work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally
knocking over a pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Electrolux Service Centre.
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must
DISCONNECT
the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
products are recommended:
- For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling
them upward for easier cleaning.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To
keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can
be purchased from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by
HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction
for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the
plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant
odour when next used.
Stainless steel parts
: the stainless steel spill rings may
become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw
discolouration. This also applies to the area around the
hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead
to rust and corrosion forming on the surface.
